The struggle is real…

Depression has been knocking at my door again for quite some time. I’ve chosen to not answer and just gone about my day. But, maaaaaan, Yesterday triggered me and depression kicked in my metaphorical front door like it’s nobody’s business. Swat team and all! It was hit after hit yesterday. I tried to shake it but the more I tried to wear the fake mask the more unstable my emotions became. I was a wreck yesterday afternoon. I didn’t want to talk to anyone or do anything. Today, I forced myself to go to the gym even though my stomach was in knots and I just wanted to throw up and cry. I knocked out some light arm workouts (thanks to my stupid shoulder), hit my legs hard, and did the elliptical for cardio. My music was blasting so I could zone out on life. Do you ever do that? How do you handle your demons? I usually keep mine caged up or on a leash; however, these little bastardos are running amuck.

It’s okay to not be okay!

In other news, I have a few books up for preorder under various pen names!

My podcast is still going strong. I’ve released two episodes this past month and have another one in the making. I would love for you to give them all a listen to. I talk about real-life stuff, upcoming books, new releases, book giveaways, helpful tips on self-publishing, and I spill the tea on the latest book drama. I also, try to talk about what listeners want to hear. I don’t get a lot of feedback so if you have any, I would LOVE to hear it! And as always, sharing is caring. (MUAH!)

If you would like to be on my podcast comment and I’ll send you the link to sign-up or if you’re a bit nervous to be heard on the podcast, you can message me and I’ll send you the link to sign up for your book to be mentioned in my podcast, newsletter, and blog. Hope to hear from you soon.
